1. How Maptionnaire Works

Maptionnaire is a SaaS-based community engagement platform, through which various organizations (“Organizations”) can create map-based surveys for gathering resident feedback and ensuring a smoother public participation process.

Creating and using a Maptionnaire account is free of charge.
